He was struck by a bus three days after his invitation in London, Ontario, the school bus failed to stop at a stop sign and hit Todd and some of his teammates who were cycling on the outskirts of the city. Todd's lower limbs were worst affected as the back wheels of the bus were crushing his pelvis, he also had a fractured kneecap in the accident. He suffered life changing injuries mainly to his right leg; he had more than ten surgeries but he could not regain strength in his leg.[3][4][5]
